Garden is finally finished

[Floridatilly]

At the start of lockdown we decided to do something with our back garden. Nothing expensive or fancy but we have done everything ourselves. Husband & son built the shed which has two rooms, small shed & decent size gym, they removed & fitted new turf. Fitted new flags at the top & side of garden. I jet washed our original patio & painted & planted.
So here are the before & after photos 👍🏻

Please be kind as we are certainly not gardeners and had a total budget of £1000 for everything.

Before - there was a massive trampoline & the shed did have windows etc lol

Looks great! How difficult was removing and replacing the turf. I really want our doing.

[Cutiepie]

Wow, it looks really good. Great achievement doing it yourselves.

Looks great!

[Mr Tom Morrow]

What a brilliant job, well done to you all and also to come in at such a good price.

Love the shed.

It looks fantastic! You must all be so proud of your efforts. We are working on our garden but it looks shocking at the moment.

Wow! It looks amazing you must be really proud. You get so much more satisfaction and pride when you complete a project like this yourself without hiring people to do it - well done!

The hardest part was removing the old grass. It took my husband & son a good afternoon doing it and they was shattered afterwards. They lifted it in sections;

It was hard labour wheelbarrowing the old turf & new turf to and from the front.
But because we did everything ourselves it only cost the price of new turf £120.
Levelling the soil and fitting the grass was easy 👍🏻

That looks lovely, I love our house but the garden is too small I would like that shed as an office ,loving the colour scheme
